Actually, Basel SBB Station is wholly in CH. There’s a “French” area Gl. 30-35 where SNCF commuter TER trains arrive and depart. TGV trains arrive and depart at the main part of the station. Fun fact, a cheap way to get to/from Paris is using OUIGO to/from Strasbourg combined with TER to/from Basel. I did it last month for less than $100 each way for two travelers. I’ve only beat that price once in 4 visits to Basel.
0:38 Your taxi driver clearly screwed you over. First, you shouldn't take taxis in Basel, they are unbelievably expensive. Plus, Claraplatz is at the other end of the old town if you start at the train station. It would have been a 5 minutes taxi drive or 10-15 minutes walk to the start of the old town. (Plus the part of the old town that is close to the train station is the bigger and more beautiful one)
You are correct. We realized when he dropped us off we were not where we wanted to be, so hopped a tram to get back to the actual Old Town. This was during a two-hour layover between trains, so we naively thought a taxi would be the fastest way to the Old Town, wrong! At least we finally got to the nice part of town by the City Hall, with a market going on, that was worth it, lesson learned.
I youst to live in basel switzerland and me and my family went to the market place (market plasse) all the time!I know how to speak German and I went to German school for two yeers!
I‘m afraid that you missed 95% of the old town. Especially Cathedral hill and Spelenberg, Heuberg, Nadelberg. Yes, come back for a day or two. You won‘t regret it.
